"There's 30 foot storm surge by my house, we got the bad end of the storm east of galveston. Hurricanes COME FOR ME.
I left and am at my parents in oklahoma evacuated last night and stayed at a cabin inland, then finished coming here today - anyway, I'm not dead, just probably homeless. Thought you should know!"
yeah, it sounds like Galveston is going to get hit very badly - & they think that a good few people decided to ride the storm out. They've been told to write their social security numbers on their arms for identification & that they face "almost certain death!"
Why would people risk their lives when up against Mother Nature?
